For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An idea is the only level which moves the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9405]]></link><description><![CDATA[An idea is the only level which moves the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yesterday the greatest question was decided which was ever debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17973]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yesterday the greatest question was decided which was ever debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men.
